Loose at Home Depot

On one of our many trips to the hardware store, Simon insisted on getting out the cart. It turns out he just wanted to pull things off the shelves and climb on the boxes.

Uncle John would be proud

I'm sure Simon's not supposed to be watching tv yet but he really enjoys Top Gear.  And the new Porsche 911.

Pool time

Mommy got me the best baby pool. It has a sunshade that rains water down. It's hot today in Seattle so this is great.

More berries

Simon's been gourging himself on blueberries for weeks but today he decided raspberries are all the rage. This is what happens at the farmers market while mom is buying corn...

Mmm, yummy

Three summers ago we spent a glorious vacation in Oregon with our friends Finn and Joanne, picking blackberries on the side of the road and enjoying farm to table dinners.  From those blackberries Finn made the most amazing scones, and we've been dreaming about them since.

So, with fresh berries finally at the farmer's market (wild berries are just weeks away) we paid homage to Finn's scones with a batch of our own.

Yum.

Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad

Nana & Gramps (Scofield) are in town this week. We have been having a great visit so far. Today we went on the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad. The engine is a 1921 steam locomotive that was used to haul timber down to the mills.

The railroad line has great vistas of Mt. Rainier.

Simon had a good time on the train with Dad and Gramps & Nana.

Though he did pass out by the end.
